  1. The Greek Orthodox church celebrate Christmas on 25th December in the Gregorian calendar The Russian Orthodox using the Julian calendar celebrate Christmas on 7th January in the Gregorian calendar. There is no united Orthodox Christmas. The shift to the new calendar is turning from the Patriarchate of Moscow (which supports the war) towards the Patriarchate of Constantinople.

  2.  @tdmprofit3708  Both churches (Russian and Greek) celebrate the birth of The Christ on 25th December. The difference is between the Julian and Gregorian calendars.

  3.  Seeyou Seemee  The Ecumenical Patriarchate is in Greek called “Οἰκουμενικὸν Πατριαρχεῖον Κωνσταντινουπόλεως“ (Oikoumenikón Patriarkhíon Konstantinoupóleo) and in Turkish “Rum Ortodoks Patrikhanesi, İstanbul Ekümenik Patrikhanesi“ (Roman Orthodox Patriarchate, Ecumenical Patriarchate of Istanbul) and in English it is known as “The Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople“ - more in line with the Greek version. The Patriarch is styled the “Archbishop of Constantinople and New Rome“

  5. @Michael Kopischke The Russian Orthodox Church and the Greek Orthodox Church still mutually recognize each other, I believe. There is a history of Orthodox churches changing to which patriarchale they look.
